Anything happens in group newsfeed
(this would cover - forum posts, comments, etc......)
You can sit in your ivory development tower all you like. But real world use, time and time again shows that if community users get an email notification about what they are interested in, they will come back to the site and participate. This is how it works, weather you like it or not. And this is what is missing, from the group function at the moment.
Our admins, have to make a group wall post, duplicating the newsfeed function of the group - to ensure that group members (who are members of multiple groups) see what is going on.
Your wrong. Your wrong about this, and your wrong about your 'odd' user voice. Your users tell you over and over - but you prefer your ivory tower. And it shows.
